Frequent Miler's latest team challenge, Million Mile Madness, is happening now! Follow us as Greg, Nick, and Stephen compete to earn 1 Million SAS miles by flying 15 airlines before November 23rd. Who will complete the challenge with the most Speed, Affordability, and Style?
Doctor of Credit reports that targeted mailers are going out for a 70,000 point offer on the Chase Sapphire Reserve card (after spending $4,000 in the first 3 months). While less exciting than the recent(ly expired) 100K offer on the Sapphire Preferred, this could nonetheless be a great deal for someone who wants the CSR now.

Quick Thoughts
This is only a 10K bump from the standard 60K offer, but it’s the best we’ve seen for a while on the Sapphire Reserve. Doctor of Credit reports that this 70K offer has also been available in-branch, so it may be worth checking a local branch if interested and you haven’t received the mailer offer.
Note that Chase mailers do not bypass 5/24, so if you receive an offer in the mail and are over 5/24, don’t assume that means an approval.

Whelemed.
Cap 1 /USB AR offer better SUBs, ROI on AF. With comparable/better benefits for AF.
Cancelled CSR in July 2020 despite grandfathered AF.
Chase will have to get more aggressive like they were in 2016.
Amex has made postive/negative changes – but have removed most incentives to hold multiple Plats with redundant coupons/benefits (Clear/Streaming/etc).
Cap 1 is best Ultra Prem since City National (*RIP*) .
